The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 313 Humanoid Bed Crossbow
Jia Huan sat up and coughed uncontrollably. Seeing this, Mandarin couldn't help but become worried again. She knelt down and patted the former's back gently, while asking with concern: "Jia Huan, are you injured?"

Jia Huan looked at Mandarin's delicate and pretty face close at hand, and the worry naturally revealed in her eyes. His heart couldn't help but feel warm. He recalled the woman's desperate attack just now, and felt even more moved. He smiled and said: "I'm fine, I'm just out of breath. I'll be fine after a while. Ahem, thank you!"

"Oh, no...you're welcome!" Jia Huan was suddenly so polite. Mandarin felt a little uncomfortable and lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at Jia Huan.

Mandarin's facial features are very delicate, with both the three-dimensional beauty of Western people and the elegance and dignity of Eastern classical beauties. Whether it is appearance or temperament, Jia Huan secretly believes that many big-name female stars in later Hollywood movies are actually No one can compare to her, especially her slightly shy look at this moment, which is simply indescribably beautiful and extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Over there!" Someone suddenly shouted, followed by the sound of gunshots like exploding beans, and the sound of arrows piercing the air.

Jia Huan and Mandarin both came back to their senses in an instant. They stood up and looked at the sound, only to see musketeers and archers firing and releasing arrows towards the hilltop opposite.

Jia Huan looked around and vaguely saw a strong man standing on a high mountain rock on the opposite mountain. He had a strange hairstyle, as if he had braids.

The strong man standing on the top of the opposite mountain at this moment is naturally Zhu Jinyue. He is seen standing down in the wind, looking calmly at this side, as if he is mocking or demonstrating.

The straight-line distance between the two hills is nearly two hundred meters, and the effective range of the officers and soldiers' matchlock guns is not even one hundred meters, and the effective range of the ordinary two-stone bows is not even two hundred meters, so even though the officers and soldiers desperately aimed at this While shooting and releasing arrows, he did not pose any threat to Zhu Jinyue.

Obviously, Zhu Jinyue knew this very well, so he dared to show up to demonstrate blatantly.

"Fire the arrow, shoot!" Yi Hong hid behind the human wall of Jinyi guards and let out a hysterical roar. His single eye radiated extremely cold and hatred. He must have guessed that the man on the opposite hilltop was the one who shot him blind in the first place. A one-eyed marksman.

Bang bang bang... whoosh whoosh whoosh
Lead bullets and feathered arrows rained down towards the opposite mountain top like raindrops, but most of them just drew a helpless parabola in the air, and finally fell into the valley between the two mountain tops. Occasionally, a few arrows with high elevation angles hit them. There was no momentum in front of him, Zhu Jinyue just swept them all down with a flick of his bow.

"You escaped by chance this time, but you won't be so lucky next time!" Zhu Jinyue sneered, stretched out his right index finger and pointed it slightly towards Jia Huan, then raised his hand in front of his chest and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

It's so arrogant! ! !

Even though Jia Huan had always been calm, he couldn't help but raise his sword eyebrows at this moment, and all the soldiers were furious, some yelled, and Zuo Dashou even rushed to the foot of the mountain and rushed to the top of the opposite mountain, vowing to kill the arrogant traitor. Chop it up and feed it to the dog.

"The range of your matchlocks is too short, you're just wasting ammunition!" Mandarin couldn't help but shake her head when she saw that the musketeers kept firing, but could not hurt the thieves on the opposite side at all.

At this time, Tiehu suddenly took a deep breath, his bones crackled, and he felt his whole body expand instantly.

Just when everyone was surprised, Tiehu suddenly shouted loudly, and then started running like a tiger down the mountain. Upon seeing this, all the officers and soldiers hurriedly got out of the way.

The small square in front of Prajna Temple was about thirty meters long, with a cliff in front of it. Tiehu kept accelerating and was about to run to the edge of the cliff. Everyone's hearts suddenly reached their throats, but at this moment , Tiehu suddenly exhaled and let out a roar like thunder. A cold light flashed in his hand, and a short spear flew out of his hand.

hiss--!
The sharp sound of breaking through the air echoed over the valley. Zhu Jinyue, who was standing on the rocks opposite, had an expression of watching a show, but it was soon replaced by surprise, because the short spear flew across most of the valley without any fatigue. state.

whoosh-

The violent short spear roared up to the highest point of the parabola. The visual height was more than ten meters higher than Zhu Jinyue's position, and then accelerated down.

"No - okay!" Zhu Jinyue's heart was shaking wildly, and he hurriedly jumped to the side, and the next second, the short spear fell to the ground like a flying star, with a loud clang, sparks flying everywhere, and gravel flying wildly.

The short spear was pierced deeply into the mountain rocks, almost completely missing the handle. Although the location where the spear was pierced was dozens of centimeters lower than where Zhu Jinyue originally stood, Zhu Jinyue was still shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

This person is so terrifying, he is like a humanoid bed crossbow!

At this time, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from under the rock, and then the surrounding thatch suddenly burst into flames.

It turns out that the sparks aroused when the short spear hit the mountain rock just now actually ignited the dry thatch around it. Dry thatch is very easy to burn. Once ignited, the carvings will form into a continuous sheet, so the surrounding area of ​​the mountain rock It instantly ignited into a sea of ​​fire, forcing Zhu Jinyue to turn around and flee.

Zhu Jinyue fled more than ten meters in embarrassment, and then he dared to look back suddenly, only to see a raging fire, thick smoke, and ashes all over the sky. He could not see the situation on the opposite hilltop at all, but the loud cheers could be clearly heard.

Zhu Jinyue was shocked and angry. The Jin general who threw the spear just now must be Iron Tiger. His arm strength was so terrifying that he could even draw a five-stone bow. He was really an invincible general. This person is just a member of a hundred households at the moment. If he becomes a senior general of the Jin Kingdom in the future, he will definitely be a powerful enemy of the Jurchens, and his harm will probably not be less than that of Jia Huan.

Seeing the mountain fire burning more and more fiercely, although Zhu Jinyue was unwilling to give in, he could only turn around and evacuate hurriedly, running towards the main peak of Datong Mountain.

"Huzi, are you okay?" Jia Huan walked to Tiehu and asked with concern. The latter had just thrown a shocking spear, but the cost was huge. He was bent over and panting heavily.

Tiehu shook his head to show that he was fine. After resting for a moment, his breathing slowly calmed down and he said in a deep voice: "Third Master, that guy should be the thief who shot the stone. His archery skills are quite terrifying. You have to be careful. This guy has probably set his sights on you.”

Jia Huan nodded. The opponent was obviously coming for him this time. However, as the saying goes, he is actually the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. It is normal for the opponent to kill him, but there are such powerful marksmen among the pirates. It's really surprising, and the thief's hairstyle is very weird.

At this time, Feng Ziying also came over and reminded: "Huzi, be careful. Although the spear just gave the opponent a disincentive, but as all capable people are arrogant, that person will probably fight with you." ”

Tiehu said proudly: "I'll wait for him!"

Let's talk about Zuo Dashou, who took the lead in running down the foot of the mountain with a group of brothers and tried to rush to the top of the opposite mountain. However, he met Dai Li at the foot of the mountain.

"Zuo Baihu, what happened?" Dai Li stopped Zuo Dashou and asked.

Zuo Dashou, who was originally a member of the Yangzhou Guard, hurriedly greeted him and said, "Commander Dai, Mr. Huan was assassinated by a hidden arrow just now in front of Prajna Temple. The thief was hiding on the hilltop opposite, and his subordinates were about to rush there. Capture." Dai Li was secretly happy when he heard this, thinking that Big Eye had succeeded, but he still pretended to be horrified and asked, "Can Jia Xiucai be injured?"

Zuo Dashou said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Huan's quick reaction, he only hit his mount. Mr. Huan himself only fell a little and was not seriously injured."

Dai Li couldn't help but be disappointed. Damn it, didn't that dead man say he was always on target and never missed? Why did you miss this time?
Although Zuo Dashou was rough, he was a rough man with finesse. When he saw Dai Li inadvertently showing a disappointed expression, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, "Master Dai, do you have any other instructions?"

Dai Li suddenly came back to his senses, coughed lightly as if to cover up, and said loudly and pretending to be angry: "This thief is really too rampant. He is really a trapped beast still fighting. The ancients would not deceive me. Fortunately, Jia Xiucai has his own destiny." Well, go ahead and kill this thief with a thousand cuts. I will go up the mountain to see Jia Xiucai first."

Dai Li said and led people towards Prajna Temple. Zuo Dashou glanced at Dai Li's back thoughtfully, and was about to continue rushing to the hilltop opposite, but found that there was a raging fire on the hilltop. And spread quickly.

Fortunately, it was not the dry season right now. There had been heavy rain just a few days ago, and the plants on the mountain had enough water. The fire only burned for half an hour before it went out automatically, and it did not spread to other mountains.

…………

It was night, in a cave on the main peak of Datong Mountain, Zhu Jinyue was lying on the ground covered with leaves, his hands crossed behind his head, his eyes staring at the top of the cave in a daze, and his mood seemed a bit depressed.

Zhu Jinxu, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and frowned: "It just failed once, so Fourteenth Brother is now discouraged?"

Zhu Jinyue withdrew his gaze, shook his head and said: "I'm not discouraged, but it's quite a shock. Brother Bage, think about it. Our brothers are invincible on the real battlefield, killing the Jin army without leaving any trace, and even let the Jin Dynasty win two Liaodong troops in a row." Jing Lue died an untimely death, and now he is repeatedly thrown into ashes at the hands of a young man whose hair has not yet grown.

And that iron tiger can actually throw a short spear more than sixty feet away. Tsk tsk. I guess he can also draw a five-stone bow. I, Dorgon, can draw a four-stone bow. I think I have a rare divine power in the world. Isn’t it possible? I think there is something more powerful. Tsk, tsk, if Da Jin is full of such fierce people, then it would be fanciful for us to want to enter the pass and replace Da Jin. "

Zhu Jinaxe shook his head and said: "Although there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people, looking at ancient and modern times, there are only a handful of peerless fierce men who can shoot a five-stone bow. I'm afraid this Iron Tiger is just an anomaly."

Zhu Jinyue comforted himself after hearing this: "That's better, otherwise we'd better just stay in Liaodong."

The two were chatting quietly when a pirate came over and said, "The master has invited the ninth and tenth masters."

Zhu Jinfu and Zhu Jinyue looked at each other, stood up and went to the cave hall where Kang Dayong was. They found that the second master Li Hongji, the third master Kang Dayi, and Kato Saburo were all present, and seemed to be discussing something.

"What does the master want from us two brothers?" Zhu Jin asked, holding his ax in his hands.

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Kang Dayong's face, and he said: "Now the situation is getting worse and worse. I discussed it with the second master and thought that we should break out separately while we still have the strength. Well... what do you think?"

Zhu Jinfu's heart moved and he asked: "How to break out of the encirclement separately?"

Kang Dayong glanced at Li Hongji and said, "Let the second master explain this to everyone."

Zhu Jinyue said suddenly: "Since you have already discussed it, why do you still ask our brothers?"

Kang Dayong's face suddenly darkened. He was domineering and would have exploded if he was usually angry, but now that he was in trouble, his temper had become much calmer.

Li Hongji quickly said apologetically: "Don't blame the ninth master and the tenth master. The eldest master and I only had a preliminary discussion and have not made a final decision. If you feel it is inappropriate, we can discuss it further."

Zhu Jin said calmly: "Second Master, let's talk about it first."

Li Hongji said: "Our troops are divided into three groups. During the day and night the next day, we will break out from three directions at the same time. The first leader leads all the way to the north, I lead all the way to the west, the ninth leader and the tenth leader lead all the way to the south. The number of people is roughly evenly divided. , as for whether they can successfully break through, it depends on their destiny. "

The Zhu brothers didn't know that Kang Dayong and Li Hongji had secretly contacted Dai Li and negotiated a deal, so they felt that this plan was quite fair and did not mean to let their brothers become cannon fodder, so they said: "Okay, We have no problem with that.”

Kang Dayong said happily: "Okay, then it's settled. We will break out of the encirclement in the future. We will be responsible for life and death, and everyone will settle down with their destiny."

Zhu Jinaxe and Zhu Jinyue didn't care, because they felt that with the abilities of their two brothers, they could escape alive even if everyone died.

Watching the Zhu brothers leave, Kang Dayong actually felt a little regretful. These two brothers were superb in archery and loyal. However, if he wanted to survive now, he could only cheat these brothers. As the saying goes, dead Taoist friends should not die of poor Taoists. , although Dai Li was the one who helped break through the encirclement this time, a scapegoat was still needed to confuse the public and contain the officers and soldiers in other directions, and the Zhu brothers were undoubtedly the most suitable candidates.

After the Zhu brothers left, Li Hongji discussed some details with Kang Dayong before leaving the cave hall and returning to the cave where he stayed.

"Brother, have everything been arranged?" Li Hongyi saw Li Hongji coming back and immediately went up to greet him and asked in a low voice.

Li Hongji nodded: "The Zhu brothers have agreed to the breakout plan."

"Are they not suspicious?"

Li Hongji shook his head and said: "I told them that the troops were divided into three groups. The master would lead one group, I would lead one group, and their brothers would lead one group. It's so fair, how could they be suspicious!"

Li Hongyi said with a smile: "Brother is still smart. The origins of the Zhu brothers are unknown. We have a clear conscience for cheating them. But can Dai Li be trusted? Don't cheat us then!"

Li Hongji's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "I can't trust Dai Li, but I don't dare to act rashly before I get the account book. We will just act according to the situation."
